'''Masjid al-Ghamama''' also known as the Musalla Mosque, is a mosque located west of the [[Prophet's Mosque]] in the city of [[Medina]]. Along with two other mosques (the [[Imam Ali Mosque (Manakha)]] and the [[Abu Bakr Mosque (Manakha)]], collectively referred to as the [[mosques of musalla]], Masjid al-Ghamama was built in an open area known as [[Manakha]], where the Prophet performed Eid al-Adha and Eid al-Fitr prayers.   
'''Salman al-Farsi Mosque''' is one of the historical mosques in Medina, located south of the [[Fath Mosque (Medina)|Fath Mosque]] and northwest of [[Mount Sela']]. The Prophet (PBUH) prayed at this site during the [[Battle of the Trench]]. The mosque is named after [[Salman al-Farsi]], one of the companions of [[Prophet Muhammad(s)], who suggested digging the trench to defend against the Quraysh army. The mosque features a courtyard and a rectangular prayer hall.   


The current structure of Masjid al-Ghamama dates back to the time of Sultan Abdulmejid I of the Ottoman Empire (r. 1255–1277 AH / 1839–1861 CE) and has only been restored since then.  
==Name and Location== 
Salman al-Farsi Mosque is located south of the [[Fath Mosque]] and northwest of the slopes of [[Mount Sela']].<ref name=":0">[https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=File:Masajid_al-Athariya.pdf&page=143 Masājid al-Athariya, ʿAbd al-Ghanī, p. 143.]</ref> It is said that the mosque was named after [[Salman al-Farsi]], a companion of the Prophet (PBUH), who played a key role in the [[Battle of the Trench]] by proposing the idea of digging the trench.<ref name=":0" />  


==Location==   
==The Prophet's Prayer==   
Masjid al-Ghamama, or the Musalla Mosque, is located southwest of the [[Prophet's Mosque]] in an area known as the Musalla Square. This area, called [[Al-Manakha]], was a desert where the Medina market was also held. The Prophet used this open space for Eid prayers (Eid al-Adha and Eid al-Fitr) and the prayer for rain (Istisqa).<ref>[https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=File:Wafa_al-Wafa_Samhudi_Vol3.pdf&page=122 Wafāʾ al-Wafāʾ, vol. 3, p. 122]; [https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=File:Masajid_al-Athariya.pdf&page=223 Masājid al-Athariya, p. 223]</ref>
Salman al-Farsi Mosque is one of the [[Fath Mosques]]. According to narrations, the Prophet (PBUH) prayed at the Fath Mosque and its surrounding mosques.<ref name=":4">Al-Durra al-Thamina fi Tarikh al-Madina, Ibn Najjar, p. 189.</ref> Ibn Shabba reports that during the [[Battle of the Trench]], the Prophet prayed at the base of Mount Sela' and then ascended the mountain to supplicate.<ref name=":2">[https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=File:Tarikh_al-Madina_al-Munawwara_Ibn_Shabba.pdf&page=59 Tarikh al-Madina al-Munawwara, Ibn Shabba, pp. 58–59.]</ref> Researchers believe this site to be the same as Salman al-Farsi Mosque.<ref name=":1">[https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=File:Masajid_al-Athariya.pdf&page=144 Masājid al-Athariya, ʿAbd al-Ghanī, p. 144.]</ref>   
 
[[Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)]] performed Eid prayers in various locations within Manakha. Later, mosques were built on some of these sites, collectively known as the **Prayer Ground Mosques**. The other two mosques are the [[Imam Ali Mosque (Manakha)]] and the [[Abu Bakr Mosque (Manakha)|Abu Bakr Mosque]].<ref>[https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=File:Masajid_al-Athariya.pdf&page=223 Masājid al-Athariya, p. 223]</ref>
 
==Naming== 
The name **Ghamama** means "cloud." It is said that once, while the Prophet was performing the prayer for rain (Istisqa), a cloud shaded him, and then rain fell.<ref>Madīna Shināsī, vol. 1, p. 153</ref> 
 
Masjid al-Ghamama is also called the Musalla Mosque because it is believed to be the site where the Prophet performed Eid prayers in the final years of his life.<ref>[https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=File:Wafa_al-Wafa_Samhudi_Vol3.pdf&page=117 Wafāʾ al-Wafāʾ, vol. 3, p. 117]</ref>   


==History==   
==History==   
The site of Masjid al-Ghamama was the last prayer ground used by the Prophet. It was the final place where he performed Eid prayers, and after his passing, Eid and rain prayers continued to be held there. During the time of [[Ibn Zabala]] (d. 200 AH) and [[Ibn Shabba]] (d. 262 AH), historians of Medina, this site was recognized as the prayer ground.<ref>[https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=File:Wafa_al-Wafa_Samhudi_Vol3.pdf&page=115 Wafāʾ al-Wafāʾ, vol. 3, p. 115]</ref>   
Salman al-Farsi Mosque is one of the oldest mosques in [[Medina]]. Some scholars suggest that it was likely built during the governorship of [[Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz]] over Medina (87–101 AH).<ref name=":6">[https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=File:Al-Madina_al-Munawwara_Tatawwuruhā_al-ʿUmrānī.pdf&page=188 Al-Madīna al-Munawwara: Tatawwuruhā al-ʿUmrānī, p. 188.]</ref> The mention of the mosque in the works of Ibn Shabba<ref name=":2" /> (who lived between 173–262 AH) indicates that the mosque existed in the 2nd century AH.

The mosque is named after Salman al-Farsi, one of the companions of [[Prophet Muhammad(s)], who suggested digging the trench to defend against the Quraysh army. The mosque features a courtyard and a rectangular prayer hall.

Name and Location

Salman al-Farsi Mosque is located south of the Fath Mosque and northwest of the slopes of Mount Sela'.[1] It is said that the mosque was named after Salman al-Farsi, a companion of the Prophet (PBUH), who played a key role in the Battle of the Trench by proposing the idea of digging the trench.[1]

The Prophet's Prayer

Salman al-Farsi Mosque is one of the Fath Mosques. According to narrations, the Prophet (PBUH) prayed at the Fath Mosque and its surrounding mosques.[2] Ibn Shabba reports that during the Battle of the Trench, the Prophet prayed at the base of Mount Sela' and then ascended the mountain to supplicate.[3] Researchers believe this site to be the same as Salman al-Farsi Mosque.[4]

History

Salman al-Farsi Mosque is one of the oldest mosques in Medina. Some scholars suggest that it was likely built during the governorship of Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz over Medina (87–101 AH).[5] The mention of the mosque in the works of Ibn Shabba[3] (who lived between 173–262 AH) indicates that the mosque existed in the 2nd century AH.

Ibn al-Barraj (d. 481 AH) also mentioned this mosque.[6] The mosque was reconstructed in 577 AH.[7][8] After this reconstruction, Ibn Najjar described the mosque as being surrounded by numerous palm trees and constructed with stone and plaster.[2] Some Shia sources from the 7th century AH mention prayers and visits to this mosque.[9][10]

Ibn Jubayr (d. 614 AH) described the mosque in his travelogue as being on the way to Mount Uhud.[11] The mosque is also mentioned in works from the 8th century,[12] 9th century,[13] 10th century,[14] and 11th century.[15]

Current Status

Today, Salman al-Farsi Mosque remains a site of visitation and prayer for pilgrims.[16] The mosque features a covered prayer hall in the southern part (qibla side) and a courtyard in the northern section. The prayer hall is rectangular with an arched roof.[4] The mosque is 8.5 meters long and 7 meters wide.[5]
